This may seem Anti-Antova (because it is) but this will hopefully be the only one of that kind. I just wanted to see if I could portray heartbreak.
Antauri ran down the hallway of the super robot towards Nova's room. Why did I put it off this long? I should have told her earlier. When Antauri reached Nova's room, what he saw there was not the scariest thing he had ever seen, but had haunted his dreams all the same. Inside nova's room he saw Sprx telling Nova that he loved her, and Nova begin to cry with joy and fall into his arms. Antauri turned around and began to slowly make his way back to his room. This was not how it was supposed to be! Antauri began to feel rage well up inside him, and felt great irritation towards Sprx, as if he would kill him. Without them wanting to, Antauri's claws sprung out in his blind rage and he began to turn around slowly back to Nova's room to kill Sprx, but then a solitary voice amidst all the confusion of his rage spoke:
But that would hurt Nova.
Antauri sprang instantly out of his pit of anger and saw with eyes unclouded by hate. If he really loved Nova, he would let Sprx have her. Antauri knew that the internal voice was right, it was always right. But Antauri didn't want it to be. He wished that if he killed Sprx, the weight that had been placed onto his chest would be lifted. But he knew that it would not, so he continued to make his way back to his room, and wade his way further into the swamp of heartbreak.
Antauri tried to get to sleep that night, but he couldn't as the image of Nova in Sprx's arms stayed locked in place in his head, crushing his heart the more he thought about it until he forced himself into a dreamless sleep.
The next day the team were all collected in the meeting room listening to Chiro talk about something. What it was wasn't clear to Antauri, as he was to busy noticing the subtle differences in which Nova now shot occasional glances at Sprx, and vice versa. The rage which boiled up inside him surprised him, but he managed to subdue it and calm himself. He thought about them for the rest of the day- more than they did- even though he didn't want to, his head kept thinking of what his life would be like without her and he repressed tears. Throughout the rest of the day he found it had to try and think of reasons to keep on living. All the reasons related to the team. It seemed that Antauri would have to spend the rest of his life loving Nova from a distance, while Sprx was her true lover. Unless something happened to Sprx sometime in the future…
Cassidy: I will kill you if you do anything like that again. :(
Me: I understand your 'concern', I wanted to make Antauri get Nova Somehow.
Cassidy: Just promise you won't do something like this again (or I'll rip your eyes out with my nails )
Me: Fi-ne…*sigh*
